Oh boo hoo...Yesterday, we were at Winn-Dixie and at the registers, one lady (who was obese, that if she lost 200 pounds shed still be obese) with 5 kids had two carriages of sugar loaded foods (Cap't Crunch, cases of soda, processed foods and other crap). She then bought it on her EBT card.

EBT shouldn't be used for junk foods

40,000,000 out of appx. 350,000,000 people in America are on food stamps. Let that sink in for a minute.

The numbers may be skewed a bit.

After I retired a second time I got a job as a manager of a large 24 hour per day food/gas store. I couldn't sleep at night so I became the night management for quite a few years. Our store was located right by I95 and was always busy.

Getting to the point, so many travelers and all the people who started moving from Jersey/New York to North Carolina and Atlanta, would stop in. Most of these types would open their purses and take out four or five EBT/SNAP cards and decide which one to use. They would also have several $100 bills to use for the food they were not allowed to purchase with SNAP.

The fraud was started by the Democrats using NGOs to sign up as many people as they could, and it was never questioned that the NGOs let people sign up for more than one SNAP/EBT card. It truly was mass fraud and it still runs rampant today.

"...EBT shouldn't be used for junk foods...

This is a sign in a supermarket near my house that infuriated me:

We watch our budget, my wife clips coupons and goes to multiple stores to get the right price, buys things on sale, and we eat leftovers. I like lobster, but I don't often eat it because it is a luxury.

And these people can use MY tax money to buy lobster.

It would never occur to them to go to Walmart and get a job.

It would probably be a good thing as of now since Wally World just cancelled its H1B program and will hire US citizens.

The only issue is the ghetto rats have been raised from birth to think they are owed everything and they can sit on their butts and do nothing.

[so they feel no guilt about stealing]

People like this NEVER feel any guilt about stealing.

I’ve seen them in action.

This is a slightly different version of a Reprobate Mind 🧠.

Way less than 1% is as good as nothing. If all the classes of people in United States, my bet would be that H1-B group has the least PERCENTAGE of convicted criminals, least PERCENTAGE of people on welfare, and highest percentage paying federal income tax compared to any other group.

That said, H1-B visa system has been badly exploited by American corporations. I arrived on student visa 25 years before H1-B was passed. I had to jump through hoops to become US citizen.
